Configuration

PHP Code Coverage options

phpguard provide coverage feature for cross testing tools. When enabled every test like phpspec, behat and phpunit will be use the same code coverage collector. Available options for coverage:, _(*10)

phpguard:
    coverage:
        whitelist:
            - src
        blacklist:
            - spec
            - tests
            - vendor
        show_uncovered_files:   false
        show_only_summary:      false
        output.html:            build/coverage
        output.text:            true
        output.clover:          build/logs/clover.xml

You can collect code coverage by using command ./vendor/bin/phpguard all --coverage, _(*11)

Ignored directories

By default phpguard will ignore vendor and also all VCS directories. To add more ignore directories just define ignores options in your phpguard.yml file., _(*12)

phpguard:
    ignores:
        - build
        - app/cache
        - app/logs

watchers

watch options allow you to define which files are watched by phpguard by using php regular expression patterns:, _(*13)

# /path/to/project/phpguard.yml
phpunit:
    watch:
        - { pattern: "#^tests\/(.+)Test\.php$#" }

This instructs phpguard to watch for file changes in the tests folder, but only for file names that ends with Test.php., _(*14)

transform

You can modify changed file name before sending it to the plugin for processing:, _(*15)

phpunit:
    watch:
        - { pattern: "#^src\/(.+)\.php$#", transform: "tests/${1}Test.php }

phpguard now will use php preg_replace function to transform a file change in the src folder to it's test case in the tests folder., _(*16)
